RAILROADS MUST RETURN OVERCHARI ON LUMBER RATES Decision in U. S. Court Means Much to Geor gia Shippers. ' After a struggle In the United States courts for over four yearn, the Georgia saw-mill men. through H. H. Tift et aL, have won a sweeping victory over the Southern and other railroads In the Southeastern Freight Association, and as a result these railroads will bs com pelled to disgorge an amount between i half million and a million dollars col [ci ted In excessive freight talon. The decision gaining thl* victory was handed down by the United; States prams court on Monday ahd ended liti gation which commenced before Judge Speer in Macon in the spring of 1442. The decision uphold* thn interstate commerce commission. In declaring additional freight rate of 2 cents a ht trad pounds on lumber to points north of the Ohio river unreasonable end un lust, and It Is ordered dlecontlnued. As soon as the mandats of the United Slates supreme court Is made the Judg ment' of Judge Speer's court, the d* -Islon will go Into effect, and after tha. Ime the old rate, with the additional I centa removed, will go into effect. Long, Hard Fight. This Halit for Tift et at. was-made by '. A. Wlmbtsh, of Ellis, Wlmblsh mils, and <lt Is now up to this firm to •ollect the amount Involved In tha iver-charge since the litigation ha* tegn gdlng on. This requires another iroceedlng, but those Arms who were itrtles to suit are fully secured by the tend of 2604.004 which Judge Speer ompelled the railroads to furnish when hey appealed the case from his de- lalon to the circuit court of appeals at view Orleans. Later this court sua- uined Judge Speer and the bond was nrreased *10.004. Then, on Monday, Ilia 1"-' nil-mini In the Wind upheld he previous decisions. ’'he- the railroads. In fhe spring of 1403. gave notice' of tho ndvance In rates on lumber to Ohio river points, the Georgia Saw-61111 Men's Associa tion, through H. H. Tift et al.. secured a temporary restraining order from Judge Speer. When the cose was heard and the demurrers of the railroads were overruled, Judge Speer suggested that the complainants apply to the Inter- .aie commerce commission to report n'the case. The temporary restrain- ng order was dissolved so that the hreatened rate would go Into effect, ind the cose wes taken to the Inter- late commerce commission after the ate did go Into effect. This commission heard evidence and Inally reported that the rate was un- ust and unreasonable and that the Southeastern Freight Association, hrough which the advanco was made, vas rtn Illegal combination In restraint t trade. ' Judge Speer’s Decision. Judge Speer, upon application,' than stifled the findings of the commission nd sustained the contentions of the umbermsn. Then tho appeals were ommenced by the railroad and contln led until they were turned down by the ;nlted States supreme court. The decision means that other turn termen who were not a party to the ■ult will receive the benefit of the de- -Islon and will have ground for tnstl- utlng proceedings to recover any imount they have flsld In excess of tbs -ale which was In effect before the ad vance. Attorney Wlmblsh now has In hand claims from lumbermen for collection and this amount of money Is believed to be even larger than tho bond Judge required the railroads to give, ible, however, is anticipated In collecting this amount. THEATERS kJ The Casino at Pones' DeLeon. Little. Chip anf! Mary Marble are here again. They are Juat the same. If anything, Little Chip is a little llttler and a chip or so chipper. Mary Marble la the salne winsome comedienne of former days, and there Is more of her now. Old friendships were renewed and new onsa gained when the clever co- stars made their bow In the farce comedy, "Nancy Hanks,” at the Casino Monday night. The popular theater was taxed to Its seating capacity. The Casino, as everybody knows. Is summer theater. Nobody could have foretold the chilly siege by wintry weather Monday night, and nobody but the weather man Is to blame that bodies shivered, knees shook and the merry rattling of teeth mingled with the strains of tho orchestra. The fact that the large audience eat through this to the end of the per. formance. and applauded freely, Is, in Itself, a high tribute to the attraction. The cast Is an unusually good one. Tor.y Hart, as Madison Broadway, and James Norval, as Richard Chondos. de serving especial mention. The remit Hon of the song. "The World Ooee On.’ by the latter, was one of the hits. Many specl.-Utlea were Introduced into the action of the comedy. The song, HIGH’S HIGH’S HIGH’S “Poor John,“J>y Little Chip and an' olher. "Tha Teddy Bears.” by Mary Marble, were the features of the per- lormance. Tho fantastic, dancing by three pretty glrle was enjoyed, and ths specialty by tho LeTour sisters—leav out tholr singing—was fall jut Little Chip and Mary Marble are the "whole rhow,” as they always are. Nancy Hanks" serves-well as a me dlum for their stunts. It Is a farcical farce corned)’. Little Chip and Mary Marble do the rest. Here the week through. J. D. O. Pastime Theater.

DeVItt and Klssengen. the acrobatic performers, who do a turn In the lobby and follow with an act on the stage, are clever. DeVItt supports Klssengen by his teeth, while the latter does a number of clever tricks In the air. Tommy Wilks, the baritone singer, made a host of friends by his deep and sympathetic voice, and he will be one of the week’s favorites. .
